Chapter 544 She's More Than He Imagined
As Gu Juncheng gazed at her, a pang of sorrow welled up inside him, gradually filling his chest.
Ultimately, it was he who failed to take good care of her.
In the end, Lin Qingping did not let him wash up for her.
She was never willing to get close to him.
Compared to her sister, she trusted her second sister, who was related to her by blood, more.
While his second sister was washing and grooming her, he sat quietly to the side, watching her.
The hair that fell out during the first treatment has grown back in short stubble this month.
She usually acts very carefree and rarely mentions her illness. Whether before or after her mental confusion, she never shows any sadness because of her condition.
But Gu Juncheng did notice it.
When she saw in the mirror that her hair, which had fallen out, was sprouting new green stubble, her eyes clearly lit up with surprise.
She, who had previously refused to look in the mirror again, began to pick it up again from that day on. She would secretly glance at her hair and touch it when no one was around or when no one was paying attention.
At this moment, as her second sister washed her face and dried her hair, she looked at the glass window beside her, where her reflection was mirrored. As her second sister turned to go out to change the water and wash the towel, she touched her hair, her face showing reluctance—because she was about to have surgery, and her newly grown hair would have to be shaved off again.
However, besides her own reflection, Gu Juncheng was also reflected in the glass window.
In that instant, Lin Qingping seemed to notice Gu Juncheng looking at her through the reflection in the glass window. She immediately felt uneasy, withdrew her hand that was secretly touching her hair, and without turning around to look at him, silently lowered her head to look at her fingers.
She sat there, much thinner than before, so frail that it seemed as if she could be broken with the slightest force.
"Lin Qingping..." His throat felt hot, "Should you lie down and rest?"
Lin Qingping shook her head and ignored him.
It wasn't until her second sister returned that she told her to put on her hat.
Gu Juncheng then realized that the way he had stared at her earlier had made her uncomfortable.
With her second sister's help, Lin Qingping lay down with her back to him and whispered to her, "Let him go."
Gu Juncheng heard this and nodded before his second sister could even turn around and speak. "I know, I'll be going now."
But he did not get up.
He took out his pen and tore a piece of paper from the small table.
He stared at Lin Qingping's back for a while, then began to scribble on the paper.
They were together twice, but both times they were separated for long periods. Even when they were together, they were always busy and on the go. There were very few moments when he could quietly and carefully observe the details of her every glance and every move.
It turned out that she was actually more tender and vulnerable than he had imagined.
In those days, her decisiveness, her invincibility, and even her omnipotence were only one aspect of her.
He wrote quickly on the paper, as if his emotions were bursting forth from the tip of his pen.
After he finished writing, he got up and gently placed the paper on Lin Qingping's bedside table.
"I'll come back at noon," he said.
Whether she listens or not, whether she wants to or not, he's going to come.
She is his wife.
The second sister didn't stop him from saying that. Lin Qingping was about to have surgery, and no matter what, he was his sister's husband. There were some things at the hospital that he had to take responsibility for!
However, his second sister didn't give him a friendly look either!
As for the piece of paper he had placed on Lin Qingping's bedside table, she picked it up, glanced at it briefly, hesitated for a moment, and asked her sister, "Sister, do you want to see it?"
